Better Amphetamine Plugin updated to v3, some minor fixes

Today has been a slow for releases, but since the Vita scene caught fire it would be an abnormal day if there was not one release at all. That said, developer BeatPlay over on our own /talk/ forums has popped up and released version 3 of his Amphetamine plugin.

What is Better Amphetamine Plugin?

As I mentioned before, Better Amphetamine Plugin is the work of wololo forums user BeatPlay and is a fork of the reworked Amphetamine plugin by Rinnegatamante which itself was a fork of TheFloW’s original plugin. What the original plugin was meant to do was allow you to overclock the CPU of your Vita, but now with Henkaku R6 you can also slightly overclock your GPU to allow for better performance in games. Better Amphetamine Plugin also boasts more stabilityTM than the others meaning it is approved by both Sony and Nintendo.

This release also comes with a warning:

Download Better Amphetamine Plugin

To download Better Amphetamine Plugin all you need to do is go to the thread in the /talk/ forums and download the precompiled version. As usual if you’re a lazy bum, here is the direct link so you don’t have to overwork yourself. Don’t forget to give BeatPlay any feedback you might find relevant!

He’s probably referring to when holding select it also opens a chat window with keyboard, its not a huge deal just set your GPU press select then press it again to back out of the screen, but I could see it annoying me on the right day.

“Better Amphetamine Plugin also boasts more stability™ than the others meaning it is approved by both Sony and Nintendo.” Cue explosive flourish in random current rap song to symbolize effectiveness of one’s concise and apropos insulting statement.

WoW. And I mean that. I will not use any version of this plugin until the dev removes the start button issue or fixes it. the dev said :I wanted to implement FPS counting, but the code is unstable so whatever you do DO NOT HOLD DOWN START! Couldnt delete it, because i didnt have time to recompile and reupload!

THen why was a RELEASE made… Don’t release with a change log like that, please wait to release until you cannot determine any issues that may arise and then ask for help from others before you release a technically broken plugin .
